A Quick Sum Up of a Good Week

I'm supposed to be doing the dishes, changing the laudry and supervising the kids while they practice their instruments but I'll just do a quickie here.  It's been a week of good news - first, Influx Jewelry Gallery in Calgary, Alberta (www.influxgallery.com) has accepted me to be one of their regular selling artists.  I've got to put together a package of about 25 pieces to ship out to them by the end of the month.  As well, Belle Armoire Jewellery magazine has accepted me for a technical article feature on the how-to of making one of the steampunk-inspired soldered rings.  Not sure what issue it will appear in, but it will be sometime this year.  So I'm very happy.  Maybe this will be the year that Pink Gargoyle breaks through.  I've finished two more journal this week too.  One is a little book, about 3*5 - it's very manly though with a vintage strongman image on the cover.  The other is meant to be a cookbook - there are kraft tags attached to each page that spin out of the way.  I see it as having the ingredients written on the tags, and the instructions underneath on the page.  I'll get pictures done this week.  I have to photograph the making of the ring step-by-step so I will have the camera and lights properly set up.  I've got some more silver birds to photograph too.

Anyway, I've got to get back to domesticity.  But I'm looking forward to another great week with lots of time in the studio (with regular outings to yoga!).

Cheers!
